Should be awfully easy for most readers of this board.

Should also be awfully easy for all of us to catch the mistakes. I caught 5 of them.

Also, the answer to #12 should be duly noted, lol. (And I'm NOT saying that one is a mistake...) ;-)

I will also say that I found the format confusing at times - when the first question that was NOT a multiple choice popped up, I thought they had mistakenly left the choices out. Then I began to catch on that there were going to be different forms of questions. I wish they had said that beforehand.

Gotta say in all my years I have never heard about that ghost question. Now the Belasco is another matter....

And it would have been more challenging if they used lesser know songs in the show instead of the hits.

53pts.

Gotta say in all my years I have never heard about that ghost question.

I hadn't heard of it either - but I made an educated guess and got it right.

I got 54 points.

I see at least six mistakes (one of them in the year that accompanies an answer), along with several questions that are so badly phrased that if you take what is said literally, they are wrong.

And who likes that music, especially to accompany a quiz like this? Good thing that it can be turned off.

Can someone outline all of the mistakes?

I noticed 3 I believe. Curious as to the ones I missed.
It was a slight distraction but not created for most of this audience I would say.

I'd have to look back, but these are off the top of my head. AlanScott can certainly fill in the others.

Ben Vereen was of course not in the original company of Chicago.

The song where the nudity famously occurred in the original production of in Hair was "Where Do I Go?" - not "Let The Sunshine In." (though they claim they were just including that song title in the answer for the hell of it - but why, when everything else in the quiz was supposed to be fact?)

Don Quixote was NOT written by Broadway actor Miguel Cervantes. (They left out the "De")

One of the answers was "Pajama Game," but the official title of the show is "The Pajama Game."

I also had quibbles with the clues for a few of the extra credit questions - even though they claim they were just joking around. (See my comment on the "Hair" gaffe.)

I know there were others, but I can't remember...

Yup - the year mistake is huge. And yes, a few of the "bonus point" questions are trying to be funny rather than literal, which doesn't fit in with the majority of the quiz.

Agreed about the music. Ugh.

After noticing the third mistake, I turned the quiz off. Too stupid to bother with. Plus I agree that the background music was irritating.
